UTAH ELECTIONS.
Gentiles Successfully Competing
with the Mormon Nominees.

WIN the mormon NOmhhceSs
SALT LAKE, August 1.-The first
general election under the Tucker Ed
munds law took place to-day. This
law disfranchised women and pre-
scribed oaths that many Mormons re-
fused to take. In this city the con-
test in some precincts was very close.
Bands of music paraded the streets
and wagons secured the wards
for voters all day. The contest is
more like genuine American election
than anything of the kind that ever
took place in the territory. The re-
turns are not yet canvassed but it is
believed this city will return three or
four Gentiles to ne legislature. Last
legislature contained one Gentle who
was the first that ever sat in that body.
The only event that caused any ex-
element was the first encounter be.
tween p. II. Lannon, manager
of the Tribune and J. L. Rawlins,
an attorney. The Tribune had accused
Rawlings OF being in sympathy with
the Mormon Church. Lannon is well
known in Nevada and California.
Both parties received bruises, but
nothing serious.
The Gentiles elected two members
to each house. Hon. Thos. Marshall
was elected Council member, and
John nj. Young, nephew of Brigham
Young, was elected to the Council ON
the anti-Mormon ticket.

Eyes; decline to answer in that

way"
Gentlemen, unless we hold execu-
tive session." said Mr.. Pattison, "and
make application to the court, we can
proceed no further at this time"
AT the close of the executive session
Governor Pattison said that the case
would have to go to the United States
Circuit Court in order to determine
the power OF the commission. They
would, however, examine Senator
Stanford at 10 A. NJ. tomorrow.
coHEN's OPINION.
In the executive Session, Alfred A.
Cohen appeared before the Commits
sion on behalf of the Central Pacific
in relation to the refusal OF witness
Frank S. Douty to produce the books
of the Western Development Com
pany and the books of the other con-
companies. He stated that
the Central Pacific is willing to
produce all the books and papers
which will instruct the Commission
within the scope of the act of Congress,
usac.- which it derives its appoint
ment. He then suggested that Douty
be examined only as To the particular
subject matter, concerning which the
desires information. The
contended that they
could not make a satisfactory and in
telligent report unless they themselves
could see and examine the books of
the construction companies.
Said Commissioner Little: "This
desires not only the ex-
animation of the books for the
stated, but for the pur-
pose OF ascertaining whether
The chief officers of the
Central Pacific Railroad Company
have not used these several corpora
ions as mere instruments to benefit
themselves personally and whether
heir conduct is not really an abuse of
heir trust as such officers"
Attorney Cohen thou hit his offer
broad enough to include all the
nattor. The case therefore rests at
his point until a decision thereon is
endered by the United States Court.

AeserNatiOm AyeMtSs
WASHINGTON, August 1.-The In
dian office, with the approval of the
Secretary of the Interior, has pre-
pared letters OF instruction for the
guidance of the special agents recently
appointed to allot lands in severalty
to Indians. Special Agent Howard,
who is assigned to duty on the Crow
reservation, in Montana, is instructed
that allotments to those Indians are to
be governed by treaty or agreement
approved by act of Congress of April
II, 1882. BY this treaty each Indian
will receive, in addition to the
number of acres, specified in the act
of January Sd, 1887, an annual
amount OF grazing lands. To illus
trate, each head OF a family will re-
ceive 100 acres Of agricultural land
and also 100 acres of grazing land.
Indian women married to white men
should be regarded as heads of fami-
lies. White husbands cannot take
and in all cases where In
dian women have been married to
Indian husbands and have chill
dren born of that marriage, but
have been divorced from such
after the Indian
custom, the mother should receive an
allotment OF land as the head of the
family and should be allowed to select
the land for her children not under the
charge of the father, if competent to
do SO.
The Winnebago Indians in Nebraska
and the Siletz Indians in Oregon will
.ake their lands under the general
ieveralty act OF February 8, 1887, and
with this exception the instructions to
he special agents for the Winnebago
ind Siletz tribes are the same as sent |

THE PURE WINE LAW
Argued Before the Supreme Cour'
at San Francisco.

Argued Before the supreme Ccurt
at San Francisco.
. SAN Francisco, August 1.-The Pure
Wine act passed at the last session OF
the Legislature was partially argued
before the. Supreme Court to-day.
Henry Kohler commenced the action
to test the constitutionality of the law.
He was arrested for selling wine with
out labelling it on the bottle as "pure
California wine," and habeas corpus
proceedings resulted. All the Justices
of the court attended except Judge
Sharpstein. The wine merchants con-
tend through their counsel that the
provision OF the law requiring every
bottle sold to be stamped in certain
fashion is not mandatory. The argu-
ment in behalf of the Pure Wine bill
was to the effect that no hardship was
imposed, and no right to life, liberty
or pursuit of happiness would be in
vaded to require a merchant selling
wine of California vintage to place on
the label "pure California wine" and
then stand the penalty of the law if
the liquid was a cheap decoction and

an absolute necessity that he should
in every case request those cities
whicss proposed to send delegates tO
Washington conveying invitations 10

He fully appreciated the cordial
spirit, which prompts such courtesy
and which is most gratifying, but it
seems to him unnecessary that such u
journey, for such a purpose at this
heated season of the year, should be
undertaken. In addition to this con-
sideration, he said it has been his
purpose to feel free. to absent himself
from the Capitol and the White House
as he should feel disposed during this
month and to make no engagements
which would require his presence hero
at any stated time.

THE COMING FAIR.
The Southern Pacific Gives Very
Generous Rates.

-
Generous Rates.
Senator L. ]. Rose addresses a com.
munication to the HERALD which
reads as follows:
The Southern Pacific Company have
kindly made concessions in order to
induce parties from a distance to
attend our fair and bring some of the
best horses and other stock in the
State.
Mr.. Stubbs writing me says "The
same rule as last year will be OBJ
served in billing freight to and from
the District Fair to be held at Los
Angeles Oct. 10TH"
Also that all racing stock will be
taken down and brought back BIZ
passenger train at freight train rates.
1t is desired, however, to have early
notice what baggage cars are required
for such are the only ones suitable to
run in passenger trains.
Mr.. Goodman writes as follows:
"At the request of the general
traffic manager, Mr.. j. G. Stubbs, we
desire to advise you that it has been
determined to make two-third round
trip rates to Los Angeles and return
from points between San Francisco,
San Jose, Stockton, Sacramento and
Yuma, during the holding of the dis
trict fair at Los Angeles, in October
next. The rates from the principal
points will be as fellows: San Fran
cisco, $28.95; San Jose, $500;
Lathrop, $24.80; Stockton, $3.50;
Sacramento, $27.9O; Fresno, $3.50;
Tulare, $16.40; Mojave, $780," This
assures us large attendance, and we
may hope to hold the most successful
fair ever held in Southern California,
and much benefit will be reaped by
this section if we all take an interest
and do our part. L. J.. ROSE.

IRON WORKERS.
Mfsunderstnndin Between Em-

Mfsunderstanding Ketwcen Em-
picy. rs ana Employees.
PrrTsBURG, August To-day was
inaugurated what from the present
outlook will be the most serious mis-
understanding that has arisen for
years between the Amalgamated As
sociation of Iron and Steel Workar9i
and the manufacturers. Already q
number of mills in the Mahoning val
ley have been closed and nearly 5000
iron workers are out Of employment,
while the Indications are that before
many days there will be still more
idle. The cause is an attempt ON the
part of the Amalgamated Association
to enforce the old law in their constitu-
ton, which provides that no man
shall hold two jobs at a mill. At the
recent convention OF iron workers an
amendment stigmatized the holders
Of the two jobs as "black sheep"
and it was decided to enforce the law.
After August 1st, the members OF the
association who were notified of the
action, taken as rule, gave up their
extra jobs, but the trouble arose over
the non-pay members, who refused t0
do SO. AT several OF the mills in this
city and Youngstown, the mill owners
refused to discharge these men, and
the mills closed this morning. The
same trouble is expected at the Solar
Iron Works in this city and the iron
works at Akron, o., and Girard, Pa.
The manufacturers refused to recog-
nize the law, ON the ground that it
was not included in the agreement
they had signed Both sides are de-
termined to maintain the stand taken,
and unless an amicable settlement is
reached soon, several thousand mill
workers will be out of employment.

The Ameer's Attempt to Regain
His Authority.

CALCUTTA, August l.--Advices from
Candahar state that the Ameer Of
Afghanistan has issued a proclama-
ton informing his subjects that the
British Government is holding six in
fantry divisions, each consisting of
nine regiments with cavalry and artil-
lery, in readiness to march into
Afghanistan to suppress the revolt OF
the Ameer's enemies in the interior.
The proclamation adds: 81 can sup
press the Ghilzais without them, but
they remain ready in case Russia takes
advantage of the rebellion to invade
the country" The Ameer invites the
rebels to return to their homes and
says he will only punish the chiefs.
He warns Great Britain against per-
mitting Ayoub Khan to approach the
frontier. Opponents of the Ameer ex-
plain that in issuing the proclamation
he is playing his last trump card, as
friends OF that people value his alliance
with England more than the Ameer
himself.
